Privacy Center provides information on five main topics: Security, Sharing, Collection, Use, and Advertising, according to the official announcement. Currently, Privacy Center is only available to select users in the US on Facebook desktop.
The five topics each have their own accompanying educational guide and controls. Security teaches you about securing your Facebook account and how to set up two-factor authentication. Share answers to questions about who sees your posts and how to manage them.
Collection covers the types of data Meta collects and how you can view that information with the Access Your Information tool. Along the same lines, Use explains how/why Meta uses that data and the controls you can use to manage it. Finally, Ads shows the data used to determine which ads you see on Facebook. Meta stated that it plans to roll out the Privacy Center to more apps in the coming months to serve as a central hub for security and privacy controls.
